Well, the snow precluded any serious investigation for putty root orchid and swamp pink, but I headed out anyway this morning for some alone time and searched for the elusive Cumberland forge...which remained elusive.
I scoured the furnace area a bit, then headed up toward Dorothy and visited the area of swamp pink I had shown Barry last year. Since it was generally frozen over and the vegetation had significantly died back, I was able to bushwack quite a bit further back...there is more in there to count, Barry! I should have liked to have explored even further, but the ice broke beneath my weight and soaked one leg to my mid leg. I went on a bit, but the cold wet clothes were uncomfortable, so I opted for drying out the socks on the heater while I headed toward my next stop. On the way I noticed the jeep shaking a bit, and pulled over, with one shoe on, and no shoe or socks on the other, and got out to see that I had had a blowout. So back on went the cold wet socks and boot.
Now I'm not stupid by any means. I can put together a barbque grill faster than you can shake a stick. But I don't know the difference between an axle and shock. Well, barely, anyway. Actually, not at all.
I've always said that someday I would learn how to change a tire and change the oil on my own. Turns out someday was today.
So I called Joe, and wonderful guy that he is, dropped everything to head out to my rescue. While waiting I decided, what the heck, I may as well get the jack and tire etc out for him. Next thing I know, I'm changing the tire and Joe shows up. I laughed and told him I was well into changing it, ain't no way I was gonna let him do it now, I was doing it on my own! He laughed and obliged, but stuck around to make sure I was ok.
So we made it home in one piece, I feeling quite the independent woman YEAH! and wondering why the hell I was so afraid of changing a tire!!! :bounce:
